New webpage to support families during emergency off-Island transfers

A new webpage has been launched to support those whose loved ones are transferred off-Island in emergency circumstances.

Manx Care is behind the concept, and says the webpage aims to provide information about the journey off-Island, including details about the visiting hospital, the journey back home to Manx shores and the patient’s recovery.

Supporting information will soon be available in hard copy form (information leaflet), and the webpage can also be accessed via a QR code.

The code will be available on posters throughout the Emergency Department, in all of the Ambulances, GP Practices, Wellbeing Centres annb d the foyer of Noble’s Hospital.

This information has been co-designed by staff and patients/families who have recently used the emergency pathway service to be treated at a UK Hospital.
